This ultra-low iron, summer horse feed balancer has been formulated for superior hoof and skin health, using our own unique analytical data from the thousands of forage samples that we test.
It contains only the commonly deficient minerals, vitamins and amino acids found to be needed to help develop optimum hoof and skin health, matched to grass, hay and haylage.
Our powdered balancers are under 1% in sugar and starch combined. Free from any fillers, additives, preservatives or bulking agents.
We only use the highest purity minerals and vitamins to produce the lowest iron formulation, minimising contamination from heavy metals and ensuring maximum absorption rates.
How to feed the balancer?
All Forageplus Balancers are best carried in a high fibre, fast soak feed or chop of your choice.
We have a handy video here on how to best feed the balancer.
If your horse is on reduced or restricted grazing, or a hay/haylage only diet, then opting for the winter version of this balancer would be best.

The above analysis for 100 grams is equivalent to elemental values fed. The volume feed rate (100 grams) is not the same as the elemental feed rate values (above). Therefore the above figures will not equal 100 grams.
“Our forage analysis showed us that this balancer would match our forage mineral deficiencies, perfectly. My horse is bouncing with healthy hooves. My vet and farrier are astounded.”
— Carol Bent, Gloucestershire
